EXPERIMENTATION or oaui-hment should be the attitude If every citizen of Ari- Eona, of every public print of this Terri tory, ou the San Carlos Apache question. The Tucson CITIZEN has very correctly said, in substance, that II Ia now time for the people to make war on the Apsches." Their mcrderous disposition and their continued encouragement by the Government to ravage, murder and destroy the settlers of AriEona.-the fact that the Government arms them, feeds them, and furnishes Rmmunittcn to them to shoot and scalp our citizens burn their homes, destroy their fields and drive of their stock, and further than that it turns Q deaf ear to the en- treaties ot our people for relief from these terTors, Is sufficient evidence that unless the people take this matter into their own hands and shoot down a San Carlos Apache wherever they lind hlm, on or of the reservation, till the whole tribe is extinct or the Government re moves them to save them, our far land must be the scene of tlJeir heDdish deeds for many years to come, and the blood of our wives, daughters, sisters mothers and friends continue to dye our hills and valleys and call to us to rise up like men and protect ourselves, the lives and interests of those dependant upon us. For long years the south east ern section Of our Territory, one ot the finest and wealthiest sections Of the southwest, has been terrOuZed and we'll nigh destroyed. and msny' many lives been sacrificed to these bloody fends by the Government or the United States for the maud ling. puleIng sentiment of few ignorant and fanaticsl men and women of the east who have been continually sending up the cry, "Lo, the poor h. dian" We say ignorant" because they know nothing about the facts of the con dition that has prevailed here in Arizo- ps. we say.

HE love of savage warfare md roam ing depreciation springs perennial in the Apache breast. There has never been time since since the ceding of the Southwest territory to the United States when they have not been able 10 keep the greater part of the active forces of the United States army in constant pur- suit. Victoria may be dead and Geron- inO bsnished; 1t seems to make little difference. A new leader comes to the front with each occasion, and 1t soon ap- pears that he is just gs willy and capable a leader as any of hIs predecessors. This Is due to the fact that the Apsenes do not reeo Snizs hereditary chiefs Gs leaders in times of war. They follow the plan of making leaders Of men who have won their spurs.
 What Is to be done with the tribe IS certainly question. IL would appear from the reports of the recent outbreak that there are not only reGeSades to commit depredations, but that there are plenty of Indians on the reservation, who are living of the food furnished from Uncle Sams larder. willing to keep the renegades informed as to the movements of the troops,
 The Pueblo Indians have tradition that when the first Apache Indian WAS created by the action of the sun upon the earth. he jumped up and ran away before clothes could be put upon hIm. His descendants have been "goiDg it' ever since. They certainly possess every advantage over the ordinary troops in their own territory, and there will be trouble with them ss long as they are permitted to remain there,
 There Is but one way to settle the trouble and that Is to remove the ln- dIsns. They should either be sent n small bands to various forts throughout the country, as Geronimo and his fol- lowers mere sent to Fort Pickens, or they should be bsnished 10 an island ID the see where they could not get away. However, the first thing 10 do now Is 10 catch the rabbit.-Denver Times.

IT is said that the Department Of the Interior has under consideration more liberal construction of the desert land law by VII, oh this class of lands may be more generally taken up and the work of irrigation, which IS the absolute and ul- innate condition of their reclamation be- gun as soon as possible. The senate Tn formulating and finally passing the bIll repeating the pre-emptIOn and timber culture acts, made liberal additions to the desert land law m order to encour- age their settlement. The house, which radically favored the entire wiping out Of this act with the other two laws, op- posed this and 1t formed one of the points upon which the conferees of the two houses split. This was finally ar ranged. however, and the judicial sec- ton formed only points of disagreement.

HE Tucson CITIZEN has hoisted the black flag, RGd inscribed on its folds, "Hark, from the tomb IS a dolstul souDd," for the murderous Apache devils. We join the chorus, and un- hesitating,y endorse the position of the CITIZEN, that the Apsches must be re- moved from this Territory, if not, then 1t is the duty of AriEoniaus 10 kill them wherever and whenever they may be found. For more than thirty ears the government has been dallyIng with these bloody handed fends, while in every valley and on every hill Bnd mountain in southeastern Arizona the bones of their murdered victims are bleaching-silent witnesses to the dam nable weak and worse than criminal Indian policy of this government. Not longer ago than last summer when the people in the region infested by Geroni- mo and his band, organized to protect their homes and families, four com penies of troops were sent from San Francisco post haste with the avowed purpose of protecting the Indians. Year by year. after Icing cosXed back 10 the reservation from their regular au- nual excursion of robbery and murder, they are fed up. and furnished with arms and munitions. so ss to be in go"d trim for the next radI. Even now fat beeves await their return to San Carlos. Now, let the motto be, removal, or death.

THE Epitaph on the Indian question in accordance with its mugwump pro- clivities. straddles the fence as usual, and calls attention to the fact that thir- teen states once rebelled against the government and got licking therefor. This IS twaddle. We do not propose to make or incite war against the govern mens but against the blood thirsty Apsches of the San Carlos reservation. These brutes deserve to die, In the blood of our innocent people they have forfeited their beastly lives. Nothing bearing human form thst fell their way was extended mercy. Their wage of war was one of desth-even the unborn babe did not escape mutilation. Again We say, let us serve them as they served our people. Let us fight the devil with fire

WE suggest to President Cleveland that a good way to stop the present h. dian raid would be to send the long-heir- ed men and short-hsIred women of the Indians Rights Association over into Arlzona to have Q conference with the ApGches. The commission might have trouble finding the Apachcs, but We will give bond to placs the commission where the Apaches VI find them.
